Siberian Sky -- The VOLCANO MOD (for strategic air warfare)

<< "I spotted an afterburner plume at twenty miles." >>

This is the only quote I recall from a Vietnam War air combat book I read back in hi~school and I forgot the title and author. The author spotted the afterburner at night, against the stars if I recall, and said it was a MiG-21. They (F-4 crew) locked it up and downed it with a Sparrow.

The VOLCANO MOD attempts to address, or bring attention to, a long missing feature in all combat jet sims: long distance visibility of afterburners especially at night. To do this, we oversize the afterburners as the sim, along with every jet sim it seems, does not model the brightness intensity of afterburner plumes. The same philosophy was used in sizing the recent 3D Rocket Exhaust effects, making larger flame plumes optional for missiles on a sliding scale of selectable effects sizes.

Please make use of the enclosed read me for full notes, details, and install instructions
